Watch Johnny Manziel “Sign” a Touchdown Pass (GIF)

Here’s a funny reaction to Johnny Manziel‘s autographs-for-cash controversy: an animated GIF showing the Texas A&M quarterback signing a football in the clutch before launching a touchdown pass.

The effect is pretty convincing (if you send it to your mom you might be able to convince her it’s real). It’s also fun to imagine future historians seeing this GIF and thinking it actually happened, kind of like that one video with Bruce Lee playing ping-pong with a pair of nunchuks.

I won’t leave you without an authentic GIF, though. Below is Manziel making the universal symbol for cold hard cash after taking the field during Saturday’s game. The reference to his regulation troubles earned the reigning Heisman Trophy winner a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. Let’s hope the NCAA doesn’t see him signing any more footballs, whether he’s off the field, or on it.
